CHICAGO, May 27-The order of Commission
er Colman ouarantining Cook county on account

order applied to cattle in transit which. accord
ing TO a large shipper, simply kills the cattle
trade of Chicago dead a door nail" Prof
Law, of the Livestock Commission, was greatly
surprised hear that Commissioner Coman
had ordered quarantine against Cook county.
He could hardly believe that any such step would
be taken unless he had frat been consulted. Only
a few days ago he wrote the department in
order TO correct the impression evidently pre-
vaiing there that there was peuro-pneumonia
at the ockyards. In the House. at the State

advanced to second reading. providing that the
question of suppression of plsuro pneumonia in
this State be placed in hands of the Bureau Of

Immersion Ceremonies Postponed by the
Sudden Death of One of the Converts.
special to the indianapolis Journal
MARSHALL, May 27-Last evening a large
number of interested people gathered the
banks of Willow creek, in Orange township, to
witness the immersion of nearly thirty converts
to the Methodist Church. Nearly the last to
arrive was Mrs. Joseph Adkins, aged nearly
enty years, and one of the early settlers of the
county. She alighted from her buggy and was
walking slowly toward the place of immersion
when she suddenly reeled and fell to the earth.
She was at once surrounded by anxious friends
and the limp form tenderly lifted and placed on
a hastily improvised couch of quilts. while
renting exertions were made to resuscitate
her but in vain. In ten minutes after her sud
dsn fall she was dead No cause was known for
her sudden and awful death. The immersion
was postponed indefinitely. It is supposed that
apoplexv was the cause Of her death, but nothing
positiye ia vet known.

"BEN-HUR" DID 1T.
How Gen. Lew Wallace Was Given the Turk
ish Mission.

T. NJ. Nichol in Louisville Courier Journal
have just happened to read your graceful and
nous book, "BenHur." Indulge me in biz of
the queer history that may have had an influence
in making the fame of a book and the fortune of
an author. A few days after General Garfield
was inaugurated President, was taken sick,
and while confined in my room in the Ebbett
House. at Washington, wanting something to
read, sent to Mrs. Tyners room and asked her
to lend me something to read. She sent me q
number of books, among them ben Hur. !"
When got able to be out was up to the White
House one evening to dinner. President Gar
field asked me while dining how had
entertained myself when housed up. l replied,
telling him the books I had read. and among
them ben Hur."
Tell me about Ben-Hur.'" said he, docs it
amount to any thing-is it worth readingP
/ assured him it was
Tell me why, he persisted, what makes it
worth readingW
Ianswered, if it's pure invention it's good in
venton and if it's anything like correct picture
OF the times, people and incidents 1t deals with.
and the result of study, it's equally good from
that standpoint. and l added: The fellow who
wrote ben Hur" ought not to be sent to South
America-if you want to send him anywhere
send him to Jerusalem, Egypt, or Turkey,
where he can have a chance to see and study
Orien talism, the traditions OF 1t where 1t has
BEEN
He said to one of the little boys. erwin, you
go to the hotel with Mr.. Nichol and he will give
you a book bring it to me-" Two days after
saw him again; he said he had read Ben Hur"
TAT two pulls after going to bed the two
previous nights. Lew Wallace had been nomi-
mated 10 go to Uruguay. He Immediately
called the nomination and returned the name for
minister to Constan tinople aud at the same time
wrote Lew Wallace a very co mplimentary letter
on "Ben Hur," which has since been effectively
used by the publishers an advertisement. l
am told that it is now the most popular selling
book Harper's list, and by several librarians
that it is the Observation-Disclosures book In their
libraries.
These little accidental incidents will continue
for many years to keep up an interest In the
book and would do so none the less without be-
ing thus definitely told but the striking thing is
the illustration of the acute literary taste of the
man who harassed with cares as Garfield then
was. would snatch the time from sleep to read
a book the size of ben Hur" in two nights.
If the book proves that General Wallace ought
never to have been a General, this incident
proves that President Garfield ought never to
have been a President.
